2010 Membership Dues Needed by March 1

A belated "Happy New Year" to everyone!

With the start of 2010, it's time again to collect annual membership dues for the garden. Your dues help pay for needed supplies, ongoing maintenance, and unexpected expenses. 2010 membership dues are needed by March 1.

Over the past year, we used garden dues to cover the expenses of a number of projects, including the purchase of new tools, plants for the common area gardens and the Page Street tree wells, and food and other items for our workshops, garden barbecue, and other special events.

More people than ever before are anxious to join our garden -- over 50 people are currently on our garden waiting list. Please keep this in mind as you consider whether to renew your membership.

Given the demand for garden plots we want to make sure that all members make a serious commitment to actively garden throughout the year. Gardeners agree to use their plots year-round on a regular basis and to keep their plots (and the area surrounding them) weeded. All gardeners are encouraged to come to every workday and are expected to participate in at least one of them.

Annual dues for the garden are on a sliding scale as follows (choose whatever contribution level works for you):

If you are interested in renewing your membership for the garden, please send a check made out to "Page Street Garden" to:

I'm anxious to make garden plots available to the folks on our waiting list, so please let me know by March 1 whether you intend to renew your garden membership. If you plan on giving up your garden plot, I would appreciate hearing from you as soon as possible.
